Quotes on works

“It is sometimes the minor, not the major, characters in a novel who hold the author’s affection longest. It may be that one loses affection for the major characters because they suck off so much energy as one pushes them through their lives.”

—Larry Mcmurtry

"[Irene] Adler is kind of the Boba Fett of the Sherlock Holmes stories in that fans are obsessed with her even though she only ever showed up once and was never really all that important."

David: Bob the Goon is really in more of this movie than I remember, although he barely had any lines. However, he did get his own action figure. Chris: Don’t you wish this movie was about Alex Knox bringing down Jack Palance and Bob the Goon’s criminal empire? That would be so much better.

"All this attention paid to the Fonzie character necessarily leaves the rest of the cast scrambling for the crumbs. Howard's Richie character, once the lead of the series, now largely revolves around Fonzie..Winkler, absolutely flying in this season, is lean, mean, and constantly trying not to crack up at his own lines, as well as at the effect his character has on the screaming live audience. He's really a wonder to watch here. Supremely confident in his craft, he's got the Fonzie character nailed, and you can tell he's just as astounded as everybody else in the cast that this role was rapidly becoming a national, cultural phenomenon. And that's not overstating the popularity of the Fonzie character; if you weren't born back then, just ask somebody who grew during the 1970s about the reach of this character into the pop culture fabric."

"Why is it that that the only fake person on this ship is the one who behaves like a real one? ...‘Computer…delete Paris!’ – imagine if we could do this with the whole crew! ‘Computer delete Kim!’ – how long have I waited to hear those words?"

"I can’t help but feel like the Klingon restaurant on the promenade serves as a more effective demonstration of Deep Space Nine's tolerant and optimistic outlook on life than anything else in the episode. The Klingon restaurant is just there...It’s not a big deal that your former enemies are opening a restaurant here. It doesn’t matter that the food isn’t what most humans would consider normal. It just is what it is, and is appreciated for it. Plus, it has a Klingon restauranteur who serenades his guests on what looks like a Klingon fiddle. If ever a character needed more screen time and deserved to get bumped up to the recurring cast, Klingon Chef is that character."

Chris: Lois has Jimmy Olsen’s disguise Trunk. That’s why we like Smallville Lois so much. Smallville Lois… is actuallySmallvilleJimmy Olsen.David: That makes an absolutely astonishing amount of sense. She’s really an amalgam of the two characters, and I like that a lot. I think she’s the only character on the show who’s having fun.Chris: Yeah, everyone else is either mired in indecision (Clark), exceptionally grim (Green Arrow) or Totally Not Appearing In This Season (Chloe). Lois, meanwhile, is straight up putting on disguises and doing some amazingly spurious journalism and seems like she’s having a blast.... Oh man. Seriously, who would not watch the Lois, Kara and Chloe all-girl mystery solving show? Like Josie and the Pussycats but instead of rock music, they’re all reporters, and Perry White sends them to go investigate, I dunno, haunted houses and vigilante sightings. Perry’s Angels. You would watch that. Don’t even lie. You would watch that so hard.

"If you have ever watched Keeping Up With The Koven of Klassless Tramps (not that you’d ever admit to that out loud if you have) and thought of how much better it would be if they got rid of Pimp Mama Kris, The Narcoleptic Hooker Queen, Khloezilla, the one that humps on Scott Disick, The Sock One, The Dumb Model One, Marla Hooch, and Satan (you can’t see him, but he’s always there) and made the show entirely about the only one of those whores that matters, then you’re in luck. Some wonderful soul has cut together an episode of KUWTK starring former Olympian and current effervescent pink champagne bubble Bruce Jenner, and NO ONE ELSE. Just Bruce muttering to himself about golfing and shuffling around the house looking for his good jar of cuticle cream. It’s perfect!"

"If I had my way, I’d combine all the versions into one super duper deluxe mega version. Obviously, you take the Sim version as the base and add in the kid from Scott. Get Topper from the Captain Picard version. You may not remember Topper, but he’s one of Scrooge’s nephew’s buddies, and in the book, he’s a bit of a ladies man. Most versions just kinda dismiss him, but not the case here. It’s like they told the actor “go watch Billy D. Williams from the late 70′s and be be more seductive and alluring and over the top sextastic than he is.”

"Many times, I've wished I had that big machine from the [Oops! All Berries] ad that separates Crunchberries from normal cornmeal spheres. But not for its original purpose — I don't eat Cap'n Crunch. What I would really like to do is somehow throw NCIS in there and make the entire show about Abby Scuito... Isn't that always the way? Every time I watch a show, I get hooked on one particular character who isn't a main character."

"[This story is] probably final, that would be my guess, but I live in a world where a one-off picture of a cat and a devil resulted in their having lunch months later in a restaurant where frogs serve you from hot air balloons. I can’t graph this shit, son."
